Arise, shine;
for thy light is come,
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people:
but the Lord shall arise upon thee,
and His glory shall be seen upon thee.
Isaiah 60: 1-2

Holy God,

We are so grateful for the deliverance You have provided for us through Your Son. The Light has come, and He is the Light that was sent for all mankind. And His glory is seen upon us. Father, we thank You for so great a love as this: that You would send Your only begotten Son to die for us, making the perfect sacrifice for our sins. How great is the measure of our Father’s love.

Lord, may our military men and women be brought to Your Light and to the brightness of Your rising. May none be lost to physical or spiritual death. Lord, we ask that You be an everlasting Light to them, making their paths plain, and directing their hearts to You.

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Lord, and the salvation of her people. May all Israel be saved, Father, for this is Your desire. We pray for the repentance of our nation, that we may return to You, Lord. Let us not wait for others to make the first move, but let us make the needed changes in our own hearts and lives. We ask You to call America to humbly return in reverence to You, our God.

Lord, the new year holds great hope and promise. Help us to look to You, for You are the Source of our hope, and our reason for being. Help us to grow closer to You in every way as we commit our ways to You in the year of our Lord, 2015. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge
December 1775




GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

IN THE COLDEST and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings upon the new Nation.

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.



AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, let our prayers now rise like a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and gather them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your Loving Embrace, that You cause Your Countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Ephs. 5:8. . . for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light 9(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth)...let it begin with me, may it spread to our families and friends, may it cover our beloved heroes, and resonate from our country, and rise up from the very stone of Jerusalem, for the GLORY OF GOD, and the good of souls. In JESUS NAME we pray. Amen.
